It’s easy to make hi-bye friends, friends who you work with, friends who you see everyday in school. We can smile at familiar faces and exchanged words of greetings, start introducing and get to know about each other’s life. But that’s when there’s have a common place that you go, and you visit that place for a purpose (work/school).
When one parted with that common meeting place, and when purposes and direction in life changes, will you still keep in contact with the friends who you met there?
Meeting friends is easy, but managing and keeping your true friends with you is not. It takes lots of effort and initiative in both parties to come together for gatherings or even updating each other on their lives be it in social media or through face to face.
I got to really thank jiashan for always taking up the initiative in organizing gatherings/ dinner/ or even a what’s app group to keep each other updated about our lives. If not for her, I may not even have secondary school friends to hang out now. Was sharing with Mañhöñg that I’m actually slow in opening up to others. We both agreed that it’s a good point in a way.
I’ve made real nice friends along the way, but how many of them do i actually confide in, or talk to now?
It takes a while to know a friend but a life time to know a true friend.
I miss some of them so much but i’ve no courage to tell them that. what if time has taken its effect and that they dont feel the same towards you and dont regard you as a worthy friend anymore? We would always brush off by saying we’ll meet again, but when?
